Being able to make lightweight edits to photos is going to be very nice.
Its amazing how fast it’s developing, hard to believe it’s only two years old, yet it seems like yesterday at the same time.
Fantastic devs!
Oh awesome, its nice to know that immich will add photo editing soon!
How does Immich compare to something like PhotoPrism or Piwigo?
One feature that I hope that Immich adopts is to allow for external libraries to be displayed in an existing folder structure. There’s no built-in way to do this and requires a script that uses albums as a workaround. A lot of photographers have organised folders by date/event that span years/decades, so it’s not practical to create these manually with albums.
The closest I’ve found is a cron script which does album generation automatically, but it’s not a ‘future proof’ solution since it could stop working at any time.
Memories (Nextcloud), Photoprism, and Photoview can do this.
Photoview looks nice too, I might try that.
Immich has a big financial backer
Immich is agpl https://immich.app/blog/2024/immich-core-team-goes-fulltime/
Let’s hope it stays like that!
They confirmed it will
Wouldn’t be the first to flip
Immich recently changed license from MIT to AGPL. As far as I understand they can’t sinply relicense to a non-free license unless they redo a good chunk of code from the last half a year.
If they still used the MIT license I’d be worried too.
They would not be able to really. In theory every contributor (or at least the vast majority) would have to agree to that license change.
Let’s hope 🥰
Semantic/licensing quibbles aside, these futo guys seem pretty based (affectionate). They even use the word “normies” in their goals/value statement.
Seriously tho, with power/wealth as lopsided as it is in america, we really need capitalist class traitors to get anything done and I’m glad people like this exist
I guess at this point we have to take what we get.
Never heard of Immich, but it looks absolutely amazing.
And amazing is is. It has almost completely replaced my use of Google Photos 👍
Ooo similar image detection already implemented! Been wondering how I manage that!
So, do I need a GPU to use facial rec. with this?
I have a NAS with a low powered CPU, but I don’t care if it takes weeks to analyse - we don’t take loads of photos.
I passed my igpu through and honestly found almost no speed benefit after the initial import. So i removed it.
Yeah I am looking forward to the stable release.
What happened to the old logo?
Last time that I checked the Repo it was different.
Redesigned. If i have to guess: because it was too much. Too many details, too small.
Needs private albums for porn and ill use it.
Wow.
Now I know there’s an app for everything…
Better background backups
Rework background backups to be more reliable
Hilarious for a system which main point / feature is photo backup
Please stop breaking things every other release
Please read the warning at the top of their page:
⚠️ The project is under very active development. Expect bugs and changes. Do not use it as the only way to store your photos and videos!
If you don’t like these breaking changes, this might not be the right software for you (for now).
They should’ve stuck to v0.X versioning until it’s ready. Makes no sense to up to v1 if it’s still in alpha/beta
I don’t think they state anywhere that they adhere to semantic versioning.
This is a roadmap to the stable release. Things can’t be expected to never break before the stable release.
I’d say Innovation is more important than stopping with breaking changes
